Emotion

To evoke emotion… that’s why I write. To touch the soul of another person so deeply that their emotions come welling up to the surface… be it laughter, or tears… anger or fear… the emotions are the greatest reward, the greatest compliment a writer can have. So thank you Mom… for being the first person that ever laughed at my writing (may the Adventures of Sam and Garbage live on forever if only in spirit) and to Sue… a woman whose acceptance of who I am, and whose attitude towards life inspired such trust from me that I allowed her to be the first to read these poems. Your tears were more encouragement than you know…
